GUARANTEED sale on ANY property
Sell your house fast in Durham
Durham is well-known for a reason — both locally and UK-wide — because there’s plenty going on. It has its own castle, and the cobbled streets are traditional England all over. For rowing fans (or simply lover of English culture) it boasts its own annual regatta, and its university has a fantastic (and well-earned) reputation, making it a lively student town.
The Cathedral is nationally famous, for reasons you’ll understand when you pay it a visit, and there are some great coffee shops and eateries around town.
Which explains why house prices continue to rise — as of June 2024, the average price of a detached property in Durham had increased by 5.4% year-on-year, while the average price of a flat increased by 1.3%. In May 2024, the average house price was £130,000, which was a 3.3% increase from May 2023.
Of course, if you’re looking to sell your property, none of that will necessarily move things along any faster. According to market data, the average property in Durham spends 170 days on the market before it sells — that’s over 5 months, with flats tending to sit on the market for even longer.
Which is no surprise when you consider that, with a traditional house sale you’re totally reliant on the market — both local and nationally, alongside issues entirely out of your control including incredibly long negotiation processes, poor marketing, being stuck in a chain, and sales falling through at the last minute.
Then there are issues that you can control but either aren’t able to or would rather not, such as repairs and improvements, and you can see why so many people choose to go with a guaranteed cash sale, as opposed to the rigmarole of the traditional route.
Because with SellHouseFast.co.uk, none of these issues are a problem. Whether you’ve inherited a property in Durham and want a fast sale, you’ve got Durham buy-to-let properties that you want to offload in a hurry, you’re relocating from Durham due to divorce or a change in financial circumstances, or perhaps you’re trying to avoid repossession of your Durham house, we can help.
How SellHouseFast.co.uk works
How SellHouseFast.co.uk works
You know, and we know, that Durham is a great place to live. Census data shows that the city’s population is growing as more and more people recognise its appeal. It’s a brilliant city for young people, families, or anyone looking for a thriving culture and food scene.
But even so, there are a lot of steps involved in selling property the usual way. You have to deal with potential buyers looking around, sometimes at short notice. Then you have to haggle over price, wait for mortgage providers to give your buyer the go-ahead, and argue with estate agents who won’t give you a straight answer. There’s a reason people say moving house is one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do — not to mention incredibly time-consuming.

Why you might need or want to sell your house fast
While anyone and everyone can benefit from our services, sometimes there are reasons that make a quick house sale even more critical. Selling your home isn’t straightforward — different circumstances can make it more challenging. SellHouseFast.co.uk knows how life can throw us all a curveball or two, and we’re here to help.
Here are some common situations where we’ve made life a lot easier for our customers:
Retirement
If you’re a landlord who’s ready to retire and you want to liquidate your assets quickly, cash house buyers can provide a fast, pain-free option. When you sell your property portfolio to a cash house buyer like SellHouseFast.co.uk, our efficient and transparent processes mean you can retire sooner and with far less stress.
Repossession
If you’re facing repossession, speed is everything. Because we buy any home, We offer a fast way to sell your property to help you avoid the repossession process and settle any debts quickly. This can give you peace of mind and closure at a difficult time.
To get rid of the hassle
Owning and maintaining a tenanted property is not always a walk in the park. There can be difficult tenants, unexpected bills and issues that need your attention in a hurry, no matter what you’re doing and where you are in the world. Sometimes, it makes sense to save yourself time, effort and stress.
To reduce a buy-to-let portfolio
Selling a BTL property can be quite a process. First, you need to find a buyer – and when you do, you need to have a solicitor on hand to complete the conveyancing. There are estate agents that specialise in buy-to-let properties, but they won’t be able to help you at the drop of a hat, you’ll need to get in the queue. You can use a standard estate agent if the property is vacant, but again, there will be a wait. By contrast, we can have the whole process completed — and the money in your account — within a week. No waiting around, no stress, no fuss. Just a straightforward, easy transaction.
Spiralling costs
Facing extensive repair costs can be overwhelming for landlords, especially when combined with the interest rate hikes of recent years and tightening energy efficiency laws. Sadly the very issues that cause you to want to get out fast are the same ones that can significantly delay the sale of your property and decrease its value. SellHouseFast.co.uk offers a quick, reliable solution because we buy any home in any condition. No more big bills, just peace and quiet.
Divorce
Going through a divorce is difficult enough without shouldering any extra stress – but for many landlords, liquidating your assets is part of the divorce process. We release you from this burden by providing a fast, straightforward sale. This means you and your ex-partner can move forward more quickly, avoiding drawn-out (often emotional) processes.
Chain breaks
There are little things in life more frustrating than a property chain falling apart – and having tenants in place can make this hiccup even more complicated and painful. We can step in to buy your property quickly, so you can avoid this significant snag.
Poor property conditions
If your property needs a lot of big repairs, selling it through the traditional methods can be especially challenging. We buy any property in any condition, so you can skip the slow sell and instead enjoy the benefits of a fast cash sale.

I need to sell my probate property
Selling a probate property in Durham can be slow, frustrating and extremely tricky. You need to get a valuation on the property and get a lawyer to help you check the title and deeds, before you ever even get to market. And frequently, not everyone agrees to sell a probate home. There are often so many parties involved in a probate property that the process becomes incredibly complicated.
We can help you with that. When you come to SellHouseFast.co.uk, you get an instant cash offer, and can have money in your account within a week — so everyone gets their share in a hurry.
"We were dreading selling the house and going through the probate process, but in the end it was incredibly easy — we couldn’t believe it."
